Now press “rotate.”

Are they using chalk?

He’s doing a good job playing a victim..funny that he even has his tongue hanging out!

Is that class for cartoonists, or for forensics investigators?

Hmmmm. This class seems a little sketchy…

This comic is really dead today.

I’m not trying to muck up the joke, but I thought you might be interested to know that modern investigators almost never use chalk or tape as outlines at a crime scene to avoid contaminating the evidence. And, in the past, they often were drawn by the police only for press photographers, not for investigative purposes. It allowed the press to take a picture and represent the scene without the gruesomeness of a body. (Via Wikipedia)

Cheap class to join. You only have to buy one color of chalk.

Had a weird friend during college who was a good artist. He did pen-and-ink drawings that looked nice and normal… until you started looking closer and started noticing unsettling details he included (like a drawing of a house with a shadow figure peering out from an upstairs window, and a small hangman’s noose hanging in a tree off to the side)… if he ever used any color, he’d only use a little red to indicate blood…

Still life. (He is still alive, isn’t he? From his eyes, I suppose so.)

My GF, on seeing this, wants me to try out as a crime scene model. And she’s eying the baseball bat…

those drawings are a little stiff…
